For most of my life I’ve felt alone and facing life’s challenges by myself. I rarely reach out for help. When I have reached out I often have not felt seen, heard or understood. I’ve been met with quick fixes when I needed empathy and compassion. The systems that are meant to be supportive have not felt supportive. I’ve felt like I have needed to hide what I’ve been going through.
Since I was a young child I’ve listened to the deep grief and heartaches of family, friends and strangers. I see pain in people’s eyes. I offer what I seek the most. What is often overlooked for quick fixes. Co-regulation and being truely witnessed in one’s distress has been documented in research to be deeply healing.
If you are facing a challenging time in your life and feel drawn to some support in this time, I’d love to offer you a compassionate listening ear and gentle, supportive Reiki in person or by distance. Donation based till the end of August 2026. Let me know if this resonates for you.
P.S. This is a complimentary/supplementary therapy that many people find helpful in addition to their mainstream supports.
